We might be getting a drive-in movie theater after all. As previously reported this project was in the works, but now after the Waterloo Board of Adjustment's meeting on Tuesday April 27th, a special permit has been granted.

One Waterloo man used a peculiar getaway vehicle...a riding mower, as reported originally in the Courier. Local police say that he zoomed away on the mower after breaking into a garage.

Should it be saved and turned into a tourist attraction or just demolish it and move on?
